Vent located there?

[ICE]

On that first inspection I wrote 18 corrections without getting on the roof and sad to say that I didn't inspect the water heater either. In my defense, it was a busy day and 18 is plenty. I was in a hot attic, the corrections were goofy stuff that indicated that the contractor was sub-par. The icing on that cake is that the contractor didn't show up for the inspection and the clueless flipper wanted explanation times 18.

Then I see the water heater vent.

While not a record number of corrections for the scope of work, it is a ridiculous outcome.

What code section did you cite for the vent installation on the correction notice?

I wonder who thought it was a good idea to install an exterior water heater directly under the valley, where all the rainwater will dump on it.

Of course, I know the Beach Boys say it never rains in California, but ...

It was a long time ago. Probably some obscure Tiger Code.

My record for building Code violations was 23 in one stop. I hoped I'd never close to that, but alas, I had a 22-violation writeup for a file last autumn.

Generally for residential if I go over five deficiencies I make the statement that it is not ready for an inspection. We have contractors that want us to do their punch list.
